Uber CEO: two-year profit-Uber China, steps, drops-IT information
Yesterday, the Uber CEO Travis Kalanick said in media interviews at the Boao Forum, Uber now in no rush to market, Uber, China is expected to be profitable within two years.
You know, Kalanick has its own burst in China burn money on more than $ 1 billion in subsidies every year. 1 billion dollars in losses and profits within two years of the real divide, Kalanick answer looked very "vision":
"If you are a novice in care only about profits, then you will see the smallest business is profitable. Today, our top 30 cities around the world are now able to create a $ 1 billion profit, and the city is to grow by two to four times a year, the money allowed us to enter the Chinese market and significant investment, so as to make the system work. ”
That's to say, Uber is not bad money! At present, the Uber global valuation of $ 65 billion, Uber China valued at $ 8 billion. But Uber CEO, China had not yet decided, and Kalanick also temporarily.
When asked about the Uber lost $ 1 billion in China each year, and Kalanick says that's not a loss, but the Chinese market of "investment". He explained that in the past 6 months "Uber in hundreds of cities are profitable, we operate in profitable urban issues are becoming more and more famous." Kalanick also compares the Uber Amazon says its like which is itself a large part of their earnings for reinvestment.
In addition, Kalanick also say Beijing next 5-10 year in terms of scientific and technological innovation will be competitive with Silicon Valley. He said: "I think within the next 10 years the world will have three major innovation Center, the San Francisco Bay area, Beijing and Bangalore. People will see Beijing's rise as a science and technology centre, at least in my opinion is so. ”
Can see that reality is now Uber in the home began a new round of subsidies, receive the Uber offers reporters push of information have increased markedly. Nevertheless, Kalanick still Uber will be upbeat about the prospects for profits in parts of China:
"I'm not sure the need for investment in China in order to turn a profit, but for the next two years will start to see some Chinese cities start earnings optimism. ”
By contrast, Uber domestic rival drops will apparently "speak". Its head at the Boao Forum expressed views about the earnings, said current drops no profit hopes of improving the user experience. But according to drop a financing document shows:
Drop is expected in 2016 will turn a profit, profit forecasts were $ 540 million, profit in 2017 and 2018 respectively reached 1.02 billion dollars and 1.51 billion dollars. Uber is expected from 2015 to 2017 period, Uber requires an investment of US $ 3 billion in China, and in 2018 will be a $ 100 million profit.
Reporters curious profit here, is the cessation of subsidies on the basis of what?
Uber CEO：两年内要在中国盈利 - Uber,优步,滴滴 - IT资讯
昨日，Uber的首席执行官Travis Kalanick在博鳌论坛接受媒体采访时表示，目前Uber并不急于上市，Uber中国预计在两年内实现盈利。
要知道，Kalanick曾自己爆出目前中国每年烧在补贴上的钱超过10亿美元。对于10亿美元的亏损和两年内盈利的现实鸿沟，Kalanick的应答显得很“高瞻远瞩”：
“如果你是个只关心利润的门外汉，那么你将看到的是盈利最小的业务。在今天，我们在全球30个顶级城市已可创造出10亿美元的盈利，而这些城市正在以每年两到四倍的速度实现增长，这些资金使得我们得以进入中国等市场并进行重大投资，从而令整个体系得以运作起来。”
言下之意，Uber不差钱！目前，Uber全球估值650亿美元，Uber中国估值达到80亿美元。不过Uber中国的CEO都尚未定席，暂时由Kalanick兼任。
当问及Uber每年在中国亏损10亿美元时，Kalanick称这不是亏损，而是对中国市场的“投资”。他介绍，过去6个月时间里“Uber在数百个城市都实现了盈利，我们在运作可盈利城市的问题上正在变得越来越拿手”。Kalanick还将Uber比作亚马逊，称其像后者一样正在将自身很大一部分盈利用于进行再投资。
此外，Kalanick还表示，预计未来5到10年内北京在科技创新方面将可与硅谷匹敌。他表示：“我认为未来10年内全球将有三大创新中心，旧金山湾区、北京和班加罗尔。人们将会看到北京作为科技中心的崛起，至少在我看来是如此。”
可以看到的现实状况是，目前Uber又在国内开始了新一轮的补贴，记者每天收到Uber优惠推送的信息明显增多。尽管如此，Kalanick仍对Uber将可在中国部分地区实现盈利的前景表示乐观：
“我还不确定需要在中国进行多少投资才能实现盈利，但我对未来两年将可开始看到某些中国城市开始盈利感到乐观。”
相比之下，Uber的国内劲敌滴滴显然更会“说话”。其负责人也在博鳌论坛对盈利一事表达了看法，称目前滴滴没想盈利，希望提升用户体验。不过根据滴滴的一份融资文件显示：
滴滴预计公司2016年将实现盈利，利润预测是5.4亿美元，2017年和2018年利润将分别达到10.2亿美元以及15.1亿美元。而Uber预计，2015年至2017年期间，Uber在中国需要投入30亿美元，2018年将盈利1亿美元。
记者比较好奇，这里说的盈利，是在停止补贴的基础上嘛？
